It's a Phillips and at least 9 years old.
Pal is using Windows ME, and it doesn't seem to offer too many choices.
Selected default graphics adapter, restarted pc and, voila. It wouldn't allow certain settings (which I can't remember off hand).
I've just been looking at my settings (XP) and I'm not sure that ME offers all of the same which are settings available to me.
It may be academic to be honest. It's fulfilling a temporary need, but I'd say that a new monitor will be installed in the next few days as the pic & colours are poor. In fact overall quality is poor.
How things have moved on.....
But I'll pass on all advice including that from newswatcher and keep a close eye on things....!!
